Hello All this is Vera

07:58
Mary, at one of the first BLM-themed student town halls you said you were working hard on getting a student forum out to us as soon as possible. When should we expect to see it?

08:41
I've never seen Mitch on campus

12:18
oh you mean your response to when the echo park encampments were cleared out?

13:55
Councilmember O’Farrell, when our campus is active (i.e. not during Covid times), there is “street cleaning”—no parking—on Heliotrope, Wednesdays from 11 am to 2 pm—the busiest time for our students, when they need street parking the most. Is it possible to change that “street cleaning” time to Fridays, when the campus is much quieter? Students (and others) are always getting ticketed. It would help our students tremendously, especially our lowest-income students. Thank you.

13:57
you always default to this. you always talk about this SAME ONE accomplishment even after the Peoples Budget hearing with BLM. we don't really care what you've done we care about what you're doing to help.

14:21
Are there any plans to Host an open Zoom-Debate[s] where students are allowed to exchange their thoughts with other students, regarding the on going events around our country?

15:32
I don't see why removing the Columbus statue is important when he never stepped foot on American soil. Tearing down history seems regressive.

15:52
if we're talking about indigenous rights where's the discussion on land repatriation? reparations?

15:56
I don't see why we are getting rid of holidays

16:09
do you think changing street names is going to stop black & brown people from being killed by police?

16:52
- [ ] Why did you and the LAPD fight to fire Ashley Bennet from LAHSA (Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority) after they tried proposing a bargain that would allow Echo park residents to stay in their community until permanent housing became available and would keep the park safe and clean. They asked to meet with their council member to brainstorm solutions (it was rejected and still has not been granted) and instead Ashley Bennet was fired from her job because you thought she was “instigating anarchy in the park”

16:54
we need an immediate full DEFUNDING of the police.

17:21
Why are we not talking about why are they being shot? most of the shooting are due to persons in the process of attacking the officers

18:00
POLICE OFFICERS SHOULD KNOW HOW TO DE-ESCALATE WITHOUT SHOOTING AND KILLING PPL

18:20
De-escalation is not always possible.

18:23
Officers are people too

18:34
people with guns

18:36
they have family to go home too

18:41
the same 2 trolls at every meeting

18:45
plenty of "developed" countries around the world have police forces equipped with non-lethal weapons and no guns

18:48
And they chose to join the police, they know the repercussions

18:57
yeeeeeeuup

19:01
these same countries have far lower crime rates

19:04
If someone rushed me with a dangerous intent they're going down

19:11
What is he talking abt

19:11
good thing you're not a cop

19:21
and thats the kind of mentality that we don’t need

19:31
Who would choose to join the police if they lose their rights to defend themselves?

19:39
Exacvtly

19:44
defending yourself =/= killing another person

19:45
Policing as we now it, must go. It is very obvious, they are not protecting colored people. This cannot be sugar coated. The police is the protector of the STATUS QUO.

20:26
Speaking of long-term solutions, how about you push to cancel rent?

20:31
Why are we not talking about the 8 year old girl who got shot by a black man just two days ago?

20:48
Mitch, you are on the record for accepting over 28,000 dollars from the Los Angeles Police Protective League. So your interests directly lie with the police and not with us. What have you done with these donations?

20:57
yessssss

20:58
At AK

21:23
let’s not get started on what the LAPPL thinks of the Black Lives Matter movement

21:51
Jamie McBride - the leader literally called BLM an anti-police hate group - on record

21:53
If we defund the police, who will keep the law & order?

22:06
It'll be CHAZ everywhere

22:08
gotta dream bigger buddy

22:17
the LAPPL is a police gang. if anyone wants to learn more about the history of them letting killer cops go : If you're interested in learning more about the history of this police gang and how they protect each other: https://knock-la.com/the-los-angeles-police-protective-league-exposed-3140397676

22:25
someone who isn't ideologically possesses answer my question

22:36
who will keep law and order

22:46
They keep saying that not all cops, yet we have seen one intervene during the murdering of brown and black people. What does that mean, the goodness doesn’t apply to non-whites.

23:01
community has always been more effective at keeping each other safe than police. police makes us feel unsafe.

23:05
you are also ideologically possessed

23:18
George Floyd was a career criminal by the way

23:21
AK does that apply to the community CHAZ occupied?

23:29
And he still didn’t deserve to die Paul

23:34
we are paying police right now to arrest and murder black and brown people, is that law and order?

23:43
never claim he deserve to die

23:44
also give out speeding tickets

23:48
ridiculous

23:52
then why did you say that?

24:11
You need facts

24:20
im not convinced mary didnt pay paul and christine to attend these town halls

24:24
We need liberation, not reform

24:26
George Floyd was a person to, he had family to go home too

24:29
BLM has clearly stated they don't want police reform. They want abolition of police.

24:42
yes we want abolition.

25:04
The police is not keeping the community. They are an occupation army trained to kill colored people.

25:10
BLM doesn't represent the entire Black community

25:17
we need to invest that money into care for our communities

25:17
They are Marxist

25:21
lol

25:29
Not the marxists!!!!!

25:33
lol

25:56
mitch what are you even talking about?

26:10
bike rides

26:24
He's talking about joining the protests. Please stop arguing in the chat room.

26:54
The American police is a killing machine.

27:14
Evidence?

27:29
the KKK

27:29
Mitch we aren't fooled by your vaguely progressive rhetoric We know your history about criminalizing the unhoused

27:36
BLM is just creating more racism with all the rioting that occurs at their protests.

27:53
police killings have remained constant number-wise throughout quarantine, even when the majority of people remain at home...

28:04
Not enough!

29:06
While people are protesting, police killing continues. These guys are killing machines.

29:07
President, what do you plan to do about some of the racist staff in the cinema department? I have my share and I'm sure others also. I do have proofs.

29:13
Minneapolis PD had all of these reform measures implemented prior to George Floyd's murder

29:14
reform? as in putting more money unti the police?

29:17
I'm all for more training, but that sounds like the police needs a larger budget, not defunding.

29:36
in our police orce

29:44
yes yanick^

30:09
mitch you are anti poor

30:42
your policies are anti black anti youth anti poor and pro developer

31:00
LA is chasing out landlords which will be detrimental to renters.

31:13
I agree Yanick.

31:14
You mean landlords

31:18
you sound like a landlord christine

31:38
Don't need to be to understand economics AK

32:04
Can you commit to calling for rent forgiveness?

32:09
how is LA chasing out landlords...? property shouldn't be worth more than human lives

32:11
ok then how about cancelling rent AND mortgages

32:47
so, delayed evictions, got it.

33:03
Hi There! Just got in!

33:05
delayed homelessness

33:11
:(

33:46
a lottery lol

33:52
We need to see change in America. Black people are sick and tired of being victimized. No going back. No justice no peace.

34:13
stop advocating victimhood mentality

34:18
No peace, no justice Isma.

34:38
stop advocating white supremacy Paul

34:55
The landlord is just trying to earn a living, no different from the renters.

34:58
every race experience hardship btw

34:58
hey guys!!!!! whether you lose your home will depend on if you win a lottery!

35:03
BEING A LANDLORD IS NOT A JOB

35:03
"very secure"

35:59
you also know what its like to police your community

36:20
Being a LandLord is a job bro

36:51
thanks Mitch o Failure

36:55
Yes, as a landlord it is your job to ask for rent on stolen land

37:03
wow

37:12
you're really goingh to play that card?

37:26
Then I guess no one owns anything

37:30
got many more cards

37:35
I bet

37:54
mary doesnt care about black people!

38:00
now you're sounding like a Marxist christine

38:04
;)

38:09
Sarcasm art

38:40
Mary are you even asking our questions or your own?

38:49
SLOW DOWN = deaths still happening

39:02
Black ppl still being killed

39:08
next, they'll demand for expropriation of property

39:10
REFORM=delayed killings

39:11
No one the our LACCD to represent our District at your Community or Town Hall meetings to here our concerns that our College is in. The area around the college are dirty and too much homeless. Why would any one want to come to this campus or want to continue to work here to see the dirt and trash all round this college and other college. Vera

40:01
California is filled with homelessness deal with it, or move to another state. Paul.

40:08
fuck you vera im a student and there are unhoused students that need shelter and care

40:22
these unhoused ppl are my friends and classmates

40:32
what is LACC doing to help our unhoused students?

40:36
yes

40:36
Take them in them Lopez

40:40
People fear police because they are committing crimes.

41:02
tamir rice was holding a toy gun when he was murdered by police

41:02
Can we please consider Professor MELVIN ARON for this type of panel, PLEASE :)

41:19
I think the fear comes from the police being murderers

41:21
police fear people because they are committing crimes that are only now being asked to be investigated

41:31
LAPD partnership with SLO officer and the community are not applied any more.

41:49
Q Mitch is talking about neglect in our neighborhood, does he commit to stoping gentrification by stoping the displacement of people.

41:52
oh how you signed a gang injuction?

42:09
yes victor^

42:47
Blacks are being shot because 6% of them are committing 50% of the killings and crimes. look at the stats

42:54
follow the money.... lol its directly lining your pockets you cant be the one to follow it

42:58
The police are the muderers.

43:11
Mitch is asking “follow the money” has he bee taking money from developers that are displacing people of color in our neigborhood?

43:14
We need the police

43:25
Mary- You spoke in your email regarding anti racism and racial equity at LACC. The framework states “make a structural and permanent change to root out the ill effects of racism and bias from our classrooms” As Yanik brought up, how do we go about ensuring an anti-racist curriculum and teaching practices are integrated are anti-racist?

43:49
"homelessness problem"

43:57
Paul, you just told a big lie.

43:58
Do we need to focus on how can we get back to normal as soon as the pandemic is done? We're NOT even through the end of the 1st wave. It has cost nearly 130,000 people dying due to related covad-19 diseases.

44:27
we have a landlord problem

44:36
Students are being evicted because of loops holes like the Ellis Act.

44:54
We need Police and Community Relations Office worked with all people and that programs was taken away.

44:55
We need more black professors at LACC.

45:02
^^

45:09
what kind of mentality is that

45:18
“community policing” = community surveillance

45:27
^^

46:01
Police needs more funding

46:05
This is a reminder that we need to all vote on the local level. We have a district attorney race coming up. I implore my classmates to VOTE

46:07
and not only that what is LACC doing to make sure there are supportive environments for QTPOC faculty? remember how yall handled oscar?

46:30
yes Isma. more diverse professors

46:47
Hire people who are qualified, regardless of skin color.

47:02
So it's equity now? not equality?

47:17
Professor Aaron Melvin would be great in this panel.

47:22
haha paul are you slowly understanding

47:27
Paul, if you are here to defend the police, please say so. I am getting tired of your racist remarks.

47:29
What happen to PACE officers and the Pal Program in LAPD. this help the community

47:41
Racist?

48:01
I haven't said 1 single racist remark

48:56
mary how does it feel to have a spitfire under your ass

49:10
blacks are being killed because they commit all the murders? Fake news.

49:20
its not gonna end until you actually HEAR us

49:22
all?

49:29
roll it up

49:38
Can LACC homeless students have priority in getting homeless housing near the college?

49:41
I haven't said all

50:13
George was not committing a crime.

50:20
ignored once again so reposting

50:24
Mitch, you are on the record for accepting over 28,000 dollars from the Los Angeles Police Protective League. So your itnerests directly lie with the police and not with us. What have you done with these donations?

50:38
oh wow, so generous of you…

50:43
“Low income” is NOT “low income"

50:44
10-15% is trash

50:45
"affordable" what????

50:49
You have field duties that should being doing that what are they doing for us that tax payer

50:54
DEFINE LOW INCOME:

51:02
AS THEY SHOULD

51:39
LMAO WILL DO

51:48
I lived a block from school in old building, now I’m coach surfing.

52:37
What student makes 33K?

52:45
^^^^^ seriously.

52:51
The buildings are big and ugly taller then all the other houses. No lawn for kids to play. Everyone living in a box.

52:57
It’s ok, Paul, this country will continue telling lies about black people. But, the facts are coming out one by one.

53:20
Isma, who will provide the truths?

53:24
@victor Lomelli please reach out to us directly and we will get you connected with housing resources and housing navigators. You can email me at deregha@lacitycollege.edu

53:52
